Just a random drawing not related to my setting, and with modern clothing too for once!
You know how cheetahs in captivity are often paired with a dog for emotional support? Well, I don't think I've seen that dynamic in anthro form before, so I had to do it! Say hi to yet another couple of characters (who will probably be abandoned almost immediately), Anxious Cheet and Support Doggo! I'm too tired to think of proper names now. XD
In any case, they are best friends forever, and Support Doggo is always ready to help his much more introverted friend.
And yes, those are top surgery scars on the cheetah, because why not? It's not something I have the chance to draw often, since most of my works take place in ancient settings, so I took advantage of this opportunity ^^

I was surprised I couldn't recall any cheetah and dog characters with this dynamic! It had to be done!
I think these two are super sweet! Loving the expressions and their interaction! ^^ Also that meme shirt.. hehe :P
...and once again your greyscale is so darn detailed and polished, I always admire that! :D

Cute pair there.
I assume this ‘support dog’ fulfills the same principle as giving a bull a goat for a penmate?

No clue how it works for bulls and goats, but cheetahs are extremely skittish animals who get scared easily. The dog is generally more friendly and outgoing, and when the cheetah sees their dog friend being all calm and happy it realizes there's no danger and feels much more relaxed.
I've seen the same with a large dog giving comfort to 3 young lion cubs at a local wildlife park.
Seeing as they are both sentient and humanoid not to mention wearing clothes, I don’t think this is a zoo in the normal sense lol. I just had the strange thought of the two of them being in an alien zoo and being on display like how animals would be in a zoo in real life. The big differences is that since they are sentient the aliens would have to care for them a lot more than it would otherwise be necessary if they were just animals. As the picture implies, this leads to them having to regard the mental well-being of the zoo people. Also, perhaps the surgery scars were from the aliens removing parasites or putting in electronic sensors to monitor their bodily health?
Aw, poor cheety!
Cheetahs seriously need hugs, and he's got the friend to give him those and a way out and away from stressors.
And, oh, I even see them as top scars until you pointed them out as such; your art style made them look like contours to me. And now my head is filled with more/other reasons he has an anxiety disorder, and all more reasons for him to have hugs.
Rather appropriate timing for you to make a post-op trans character; the 31st was Trans Day of Visibility.

They need all the hugs! ... though they may be overwhelmed by them :P
I didn't make them too visible because I figured they'd be pretty much invisible with the fur covering them as well. In fact, I think they'd be even more hidden if I wanted to be realistic.
Yeah, that is one of the reasons! I was quite busy the past week though

I love the way the pairs are named too. The cheetah has some impressive name that means "majestic" in Swahili while the lab is named Bob.
As someone with social anxiety, this means the world to me. It's a nice bit of representation. The form my emotional support dog varies, but it's still the same idea. It's one of those 'even if it seems hard, there are those who will help' affirmative posts that really need to be out there more often <3
Aww I'm really happy to hear it! ^^ And true, it does need more representation.
Aaaaw, emotional support dog, but in anthro world! This is so adorable, I love it!
Still waiting for my Support Doggo, sadly.
Shame Lof has his heart set on a human companion!

Nooo sadness!
Not sure he'd be a good support dog, he's a bit "too much" at times :P

D'aw, I love this! The emotional support dog concept with captive cheetahs is just great and I love this mini-comic addressing that. Bravo!
Hehe thank you! Hopefully I'll make more sketches of these two! ^^
This is so cute! and so true! ahh I love this piece!
Hey! -I- have my own BUILT-IN emotional support wolf, I'll have you know! >:) But it IS awesome and as soon as I saw their expressions I was pretty sure what it related to :D It's true. Cheetahs are nervy bois (and gals) :)
HA! You are lucky! :P
Cheetahs are all emotional wrecks, poor inbred things! They need hugs!

Yay, unusual non-related pic! Unexpected trans! And cute scene! I love it! Maybe we will get some marine fauna next time! I have been waiting for years from you! Hahaha!
I like the concept as well! I sincerely hope you dont abandon these two. They can say and do a lot, I thinkg
Very wholesome <3 Thanks for making this and sharing it!
Tutty Snooty :D Good work on these two , especially on the volunteer doggo.
Both cute and derpy in his own way! I didn't know that about cheetahs having a canine companion! Those expressions are top-notch.
Oh my gosh!!
Cheetas have emotional support dogs?
And you covered that interaction in a cute anthro art??
That's gotta be the most adorable thing I've seen in years! ^^

There's an interesting though...an emotional support friend who's also a good boy
Interesting concept indeed. Reminds me of the time i went to a nature parc, and there was an enclosure with beautiful butterflies.
That snoot t-shirt, omg xD
Also bonus points for the trans representation!
